## The Fourteenth Chapter **Then, Ravana, known as the lord of the gates, whose mind was engrossed in worldly pleasures, whose actions were difficult for enemies to achieve, and who was able to obtain whatever he desired, went to Mount Meru.** [1] **He worshipped the Jina and then returned at his own will.** [2] **On his way back, he saw the various mountains that divided the earth, adorned with diverse trees, and the rivers, more pure than crystal, flowing with great beauty.** [3] **His chariot, shaped like the sun, was adorned with exquisite ornaments, and he was accompanied by the supreme Lakshmi. He was eager to reach Lanka.** [4] **Suddenly, he heard a loud, gentle sound, which filled him with great excitement. He quickly asked Maricha:** [5] **"Oh Maricha, Maricha! Where is this great sound coming from? And why are the directions turning red like gold?"** [6] **Then Maricha said, "Oh Lord! This is the arrival of the gods, who are going to attend the great auspicious event of a great sage."** [7] **"The sound of the gods, filled with joy and moving in various ways, is spreading throughout the world."** [8] **"These directions are filled with the rays of their crowns and other ornaments, and they are shining with a brilliance like that of the Kusumbha flower."** [9] **"It seems that the great sage, Anantabala, who resides on this golden mountain, has attained Kevala Jnana today."** [10] **Hearing these words, Ravana, filled with the feeling of right faith, was overjoyed.** [11] **He descended from the sky, radiating great brilliance, like a second Indra, to pay homage to the great sage.** [12] **Then, Indra and the other gods, with folded hands, bowed to the sage, praised him, and sat down in their respective places, their bodies small and insignificant compared to the great sage.** [13]
